Are Your Children A Delight To Be Around?

"Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest;
yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. "

Oh mothers! How wonderful it is to be around children that obey and are happy!
Where are the happy obedient children? In godly homes where children know their boundaries and are secure in the love of discipline and are taught the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is NO exception to this rule! I have heard too many mothers complain that their children just do not listen and no matter how many times they spank, the children still do not obey.
They have not gotten to the heart of the matter. . . that is, the child's heart.


Will children that are given the world; television, movies, video games, friends of various types, Sunday school, public school, baby sitters, left alone, unsupervised, put to the side, ignored. . . will they be happy obedient children? If they fit into any of the above categories, it will be very difficult to train the child to be godly and obedient. Such a child will learn the ways of the world, and will delight in the sin of the world. Such a child will not be a delight to be around!

Are your children a delight to be around?
Are you?


The most important way to achieve a happy and obedient child, is in the obedience of the mother herself to authority. Let us examine our own hearts and see what areas of our lives there is rebellion against God and bring these before God in repentance. We then can have a clearer path to understand how to teach our dear children to obey authority.

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isa. 58:14

TIME and WORK and COMMITMENT

Do I want a happy child?
A child that is a delight?
Yes! a child that smiles,
And then obeys,
A child who loves the right?

Then I must pray,
Oh pray for God to show,
Just how I should teach,
Just how I should love,
Just how to let them know.

Oh for Time to teach them!
It's something of the heart!
I must forsake the lesser,
Invest into the better,
God help me do my part!

Oh the Work to teach them!
It's not a simple thing!
God gives the strength,
Such noble work! To
Teach, to play and sing!

Oh the Commitment it takes!
It's all that I can do!
Lord take my hand, teach
Me now, the perfect way,
To bring my child to You.

Oh do I Understand?
To save my life, I loose it,
To loose my life, I save it,
Lord Jesus Christ I give it,
My Life is yours to use it!

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 1 Sam. 15:22
